AbstractWith increasing innovations aimed at the treatment of chronic liver disease (CLD) the precise staging of liver fibrosis is important to help establish efficacious management of disease activity in each patient.

According to the study published online in Hepatology, a journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, men are at higher risk of more severe fibrosis compared to women prior to menopause, but liver fibrosis severity is similar in men and post-menopausal women.

11 ( ANI ): Scientists have found a new way to intervene in the molecular and cellular cascade that causes fibrosis - a condition where the body's natural process of forming scars for wound healing goes into overdrive and causes diseases.

Among their topics are screening newborns for cystic fibrosis, cystic fibrosis and respiratory viral infections, neutrophil elastase-mediated modulation of pathophysiology in cystic fibrosis lung disease, genotype heterogeneity of the molecular basis of cystic fibrosis as the paradigm of Lithuanian population genetic testing, serum transferrin microheterogeneity in cystic fibrosis, recommendation for good practice and analytical criteria of the methods used in the sweat test, ocular surface changes in patients with cystic fibrosis, and managing arthritis related to cystic fibrosis.
